The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia has launched a new campaign calling on Australians to support men suffering from prostate cancer, so that no one battles the disease alone.


Research shows 1 in 5 men with prostate cancer experience long-term anxiety and depression, due to the struggle with long-term side effects of prostate cancer related treatments.  Australian men with prostate cancer also have a 70 per cent increased risk of suicide, compared to the general population.
